We walked in innocence
Child-like and free,
Laughing at adventure
Both you and me.
Touching our spirits
With sunlight and song
Drifting past turtles -
Feeling so strong.
Rising from pavement:
Seizing the day!
Creating excitment
Wherever we'd stay.
Rapp'nin' an' happ'nin'
Keepin' our beats,
Our dreams are expandin'
Up from the streets...
Suddenly watching
Heartless they came
Crowding their coldness
Directing their aim -
Spraying their glances
Upon you and me
'Tempting to toughen
What their eyes cannot see.
Blind fools!
- Wisdom's blast!
Heroes together -
We YAWP on past!
Our foundation is pure
Built brick upon brick,
Fallen from robbery
Our comeback's been quick.
Forever with inner sense
Honesty cries -
"Come fly with 'my angels'
In the soul of 'your eyes.'"
